    Ignorance
In summary, the conversation is about the concept of wind and how it is perceived by the human eye. The person is questioning why we cannot see wind, even though it is constantly around us and affecting us. They also bring up the idea of science constantly correcting itself and the comparison to religious beliefs. The request is for someone to explain the scientific explanation of wind and provide evidence to support it. However, it is acknowledged that it may be difficult to argue with someone who holds strong religious beliefs. A link is shared to provide a simplified explanation of wind.

Please help me fight ignorance!

I need someone help me develop a witty response to the following status I found on Facebook.

---"i wonder why wind we cannot see. or imagining we can't see wind. we sense that something is there and seeming to be moving. but what? made up labels of made up particles could not explain the invisibility to the naked eye " oh uh our eyes can't see something that SMALL.." but yet its touching us and is basically laying on top of our eyes? if there is thousands of particles moving causing wind, then we would be able to see something like one BIG particle correct? science has been correcting itself for years now making it seem like they were always wrong. are they wrong now? or are they still correcting them selves? people thought hundreds of years ago the christian movement would come to an end a hundred years from their time. but in this time, the movement carries on and will still continue until the end of the world. For Jesus is the same yesterday,today and forever"---

In other words.

"What is this I don't even."

Basically I need someone to explain how we know wind is a collection of matter just like any other object in our universe. Also explain the evidence we have to prove all of this.
